29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny ? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.30And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.31So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Summary

Camilla Parker desperately wants a pet, but her family seems to suffer from the “Parker Family Pet Curse.” To prove her responsibility, Camilla takes care of a baby blue jay. Meanwhile, Eugene has his own run-in with some feathered foes – which leads to drastic action!

Notes

VERSION DIFFERENCE:[view] The aired version does not include Camilla's prayer about ending "The Parker Family Pet Curse" over dinner, Or Chris's jokes like "I'm glad Eugene is finally flying free of his hairy bird-en!" Also, in the first release version, Matthew comments on the demise of the Parker goldfish, Spanky and Lester, saying, “I think they had a suicide pact.” Olivia laughs. The line was cut from future releases, for obvious reasons.
